Release Date: October 23, 2026
Creepy Tiki Halloween Surf Nightmare is Spike Marble's debut solo 45 from The Hula Girls, featuring two creepy Tiki Halloween surf instrumentals on limited-edition colored vinyl.
Both tracks have a dark edge to create the needed atmosphere.
“Creepy Tiki Halloween Surf Nightmare” has a smooth, anticipatory feel with creepy effects. The resonating guitar tones hold, then Spike cuts loose with some harder-edged chords. The track builds into a more sinister sound, leaving the first guitar's smoothness behind.
“Theme From the "Murderqueen" continues with the harder-edged guitar tone with some fuzz effects and plenty of rocking twang. The bass line is excellent, too. Different elements come in, adding layers for a big, panoramic sound. When they pull back, it sounds like an entirely different track, surfy and sunny at the beach, before returning to the darker side.
The varied textures in each track keep things original and appealing, while the Halloween theme remains strong throughout. With Spike and his special guests pushing surf instrumental music to another level, the release shows that nothing holds a band back from exploring every avenue music can take. This release delivers a thrilling, spooky experience that's perfect for the season and hits the bullseye for exciting, well-played surf rock instrumentals.
